Legal High

Male lead acted in Descendant of the Sun as a stern army officer. In the present drama, he is in a completely different role, a hilarious lawyer. He acts so well and is in par with his Japanese counterpart.

Female lead looks innocent and fits her role perfectly.

My only complaint, that makes me delete 3 marks, is the plot. It is copied directly from the Japanese original. I prefer new law cases.

A farce in the best tradition of the genre with outrageous exaggerations, rapid-fire delivery of the comedic lines with impeccable timing, and appropriate supporting roles acting as the foil to the absurdities of the farcical elements.

Lee Soon-Jae is noteworthy as the wise and calming counterbalance to Tae Rim's off-the-wall antics, a butler who always seems to be on top of all the madness. Seo Eun-su playing the female lead Seo Jae In, exhibits a satisfying character arc as the initially naïve, innocent and idealistic young intern who gradually comes to see Tae Rim's hidden motives and eventually incorporates them into her own approach to her legal practice without the bombastic approach of her mentor.. I rated this an 8 because the script apparently is an adaptation of a Japanese series, thus diminishing to some extent the originality and creativity of the Korean scriptwriters.

Very underrated but one of the best KDramas I've seen. Cleverly, intelligently written. Hilarious and funny but serious and thought provoking at the same time. Fast paced. Gets more interesting in each episode.

Great leads and supporting cast. No nuisance characters or substories like in other KDramas (acting as fillers or extenders) to make it to 16 eps. Everyone, everything in Legal High has his/her/its place.

Lots of sudden twists and turns. Some are quite hilarious.

Great visuals, too, cast, setting, locations.

Jin Goo (Descendants of the Sun second male lead) and Seo Eun Soo (Dr Romantic) are perfect for their lead roles, especially Jin Goo. The supporting characters are also very remarkable especially the elderly man playing Mr "I once was...." Gu.

And that episode 16 dual court room scenes are so well executed.

Lots of genres represented. Mainly legal and comedy, with a bit of action, drama, romance, medical, paranormal, crime/investigation.

Among the Legal KDramas (or KDramas with court scenes) I've seen, Legal High is now on top of my list, because it really is fun to watch.

Having watched the Japanese version (with the same title) - Seasons 1, 2 and the two specials - the Korean version has been a major letdown. But again, the bar set by Masato Sakai and Yui Aragaki who enact the roles of Kensuke Komikado and Machiko Mayuzumi in terms of their performance is too high for Jin Goo and Seo Eun-Soo. Masato Sakai for one is brilliant as this quirky-foul mouthed-horny-genius lawyer. His mannerisms and rapid fire dialogue delivery makes the show fun to watch. Pity that the Korean version suffers mainly from miscasting of the main leads. If you havent watched the Japanese version yet, make sure you watch it. You wont regret it.

People who have watched the series descendants of the sun will understand just how much passion this actor has and the way he delivers each of his scene in this is just brilliant. I must say never thought I would be into korean tv series but wow just wow. They have gone above and beyond to bring the audience some of the best shows out there. Trust me guys have a go and you won't regret it.
